6:12 pm
graffiti problem as you can see from chopper 5, taggers have nearly covered a railroad overpass and sound walls on both sides of the freeway. for resident vin win, it is an eyesore. >> i don't like it. makes the neighborhood look ghetto i would say, you know,. >> reporter: while numbers to are hard to come by san jose police say anecdotal evidence suggests that graffiti tagging is on the rise. not only along the freeways but in neighborhoods, as well. >> they would look at trends. they would do outreach in the community. >> reporter: police spokesman albert morales says the department's graffiti task force was eliminated as part of the recent budget cuts. two officers ran intelligence and surveillance operations and made arrests. >> i think most of us look at some graffiti on the wall and trying to figure out, hey, what does that say? these guys were able to look at it and say i know who that guy is, i know what they're tagging, what part of the city they are responsible for.
6:13 pm
>> reporter: but the city is fighting back. meet julio bonilla. he is a city contractor who responds to reports of graffiti sent in by residents by phone, email and even smartphone app. bonilla says there is no shortage of work. >> it changes. sometimes slows down, sometimes a lot of graffiti. i don't know how to explain that. >> reporter: and city officials say getting to graffiti quickly helps prevent the problem from getting even worse. >> and so the minute they throw it up, we want to get on top of it. i want to see how many cans he has and we'll keep painting it and painting it. so yeah, there is that psychological angle of not leaving it up so that the person reaps the rewards of the fame. >> reporter: now, as for the stretch of highway 101, that takes a combination of caltrans and also union pacific to get that cleaned up. the city says it is working with both of those agencies to try to make some quick work of that. it is definitely an eyesore out there, liz. no question about that.
6:14 pm
back to you. >> quite a battle. >> thank you. nasa taking to bay area skies to find out what is in the skies above us. several aircraft including one from moffett field took off today to collect data on air quality. it was flying low over pollution hot spots like interstate 680. it will also study wind current to help predict where the dirty air is coming from and where it's going. >> probably got perfect air today. it was absolutely gorgeous outside. >> really nice outside. often when you get a high pressure dome literally pushes down on the atmosphere that's when the pollution can get trapped so air quality not the best but it was a nice day to get out. hope you enjoyed it because not everyone in the country is enjoying mid-60s and sunshine. there's a lot of spots that can't get to 36 let alone 6. the gorgeous bay bridge viewed from the top of cbs 5, how about santa cruz? 71 degrees today. redwood city high 69. oakland 66. fremont 65.
6:15 pm
our inland locations lagged behind a bit but still last day of january 63 degrees not so bad. here's the not so good part of this. we need the rainfall in the winter to supply us in the summer. we didn't put much in the bank over the past month. san francisco 4" below average, san jose 2.25" below average same in livermore. we are dry in january. no change through the first week or so of february. this is atmospheric water content. water vapor you see the white that's typically where we get rainfall because we have a lot of moisture where you see the dark we are just bone dry. that's what's going on over northern california. so the catalyst for that is a big area of high pressure. there's a lot of moisture on the periphery of it all the way around the edge of the system here but high pressure not moving deflecting all of the moisture all the rain all the cloud cover away from us. so until it moves, it's decided it's not going to through the weekend we'll stay mainly dry mainly sunny and darn we're stuck in the low to mid-60s for highs. so several more dry days. if anything it will be a week from now before we see any
6:16 pm
arena here in the bay area. clear nights, yes, sunny afternoons, yes. mild through monday, that includes super bowl sunday, chances are you're going to go to a friend's house or family member's house. it's going to be a beautiful day outside. late next week, we do see the pattern change. several days off though before we see any rainfall. highs tomorrow in the city 63. livermore 64. maybe consider lunch outside tomorrow in san jose with a high of 67. pacifica 64. concord 63. livermore tomorrow 64 degrees. weekend super bowl weekend lest i remind you, we are the official station of the super bowl, mid-60s with sunshine monday, mid- to upper 60s. next week cooler and clear why you but no widespread rainfall until next thursday at the earliest so if you are looking for the rain, get on a plane and go somewhere else because i don't see it. this is a very dry pattern. >> we'll enjoy it. >> mid-60s and sunshine. darn, we're stuck. we'll deal with it.
